We have been to Fårö before, but the last time we came by car. This time, I not only sailed here, but the bay I have chosen sports some wonderful Raukas (bizarre rock formations sticking out of the ground). They are not as large as the ones at the north…
I only left Visby at about 10:30 and it took me until 21:00 to get to my destination Lauterviken on Farö. A beautiful sailing day, but a long one. In total it was 50 nm and quite abit was tacking into the wind – Uff! The weirdest thing was a…
I felt very much like a cruising passamger today. I was in Visby and wanted to make the most of the sun and good weather to get back up to the north of the island. So, I just had a couple of hours to refresh my memory. I walked around…
The plan was to got to the north end of Gotland to have a good jumping-off point for Ventspils. Things turnd out differently. I very carefully checked the weather before embarking on that long leg to Gotland. I can now report that it was correct for the start and end…
I needed a day to nurse my migraine headache and do my washing. So, after an very early morning, I just made it around the corner into Öxelosund. That little town has truly been fucked over the years. It is about double the same size as the village I come…
It is almost a month now that I am back on Akka and it is a strange year. My fall and injured foot has not helped but the weather is really up-and-down this year, which makes it all less easy and comfortable. There was for instance 28 degrees yesterday, but…
I did a last round before going to bed, when I saw the most amazing moon-rise.
I am anchoring in a spot of Sweden that you normally find only on postcards or in picture books. There was very little wind today, but the sun was up and that was all that mattered. Finally, a sunny day under sail. It did not last all afternoon athough. But…
The city centre of Nynäshamn has been updated in the 70s and it still shows. 🙁 But it has a nice part too! Just behind the guest-harbour seems to be Nobb-hill. It quite clearly is the posh part with loads of lovely houses in grand gardens,
I got the replacement oars for Nils and all is well again.
